In an Air-Britain AeroMilitaria article some years ago on the Welkin, it said it was first referred as 'The Whirlwind Development Fighter'

Thanks sferrin, do you think that it is possible for the F-22 to carry four tanks. I notice that the tank pylons also have two missile launchers too.

I would like to see a photo if they were ever trialed with the drop tanks too -- Like this

You also forgot to mention, it was Chretien who signed up for these Sikorsky CH-148's just before he stepped down as Prime Minister.

You seem to be oblivious to the huge aggressive country that isn't too far from our northern shore --- and a direction that has long been identified as the route it would take in an attack, the shortest distance ---

On that note, I wonder why a certain model aftermarket company released a set of 'Canadian' wheels for said RCAF F-35. I've had a good look around the internet and not found any news that if/when Canada does buy the F-35 that it would have different wheels. Can anyone enlighten me ?

The P-51H was the production version of these three XP-51's. They made the fuselage sides taller to accommodate the raised cockpit and then placed a regular bubble canopy on top. It was the fastest production P-51 built, so I don't think the aerodynamics were that bad.

Justo, the XP-51 with the 5-blade prop is the XP-51G

In the Rolls Royce Heritage Trust book, Rolls Royce and the Mustang, it explains that when RR were modifying the Mustang Mk.I's to Merlin power and started testing it, they found that the Merlin caused more yaw problems than what the Allison did. Some wind tunnel testing revealed that the...

OM, yes, now looking at the photos up close with a magnifying glass, the serial number does look like FR409 -- I was puzzled for the longest time as to why NAA put such a huge canopy on them, but finally found evidence as to why. They had raised the whole cockpit up and these nice photos...

It would have been a new design, viewed looking at the front, the Merlin rotates the propeller counter-clockwise, all the other Spitfires that had 5-blade props were powered by Griffons, which rotated the propeller clockwise. It's nice to see the photos of the one in RAF markings, and I know...

Why do the reporters keep saying it's a £100 million aircraft when it's around US$80 million

Like a Canadair CL-76 maybe ?

Do the subs have windows that can be seen out of when submerged ?

Wasn't it submerged at the time ?

Aggressor scheme, here's two I photographed at Cold Lake Airshow a few years ago

This is just an observation of the photo above. I can see the main toggle strap around the middle, but I can also see a 'come-along' holding the rear end up. The brackets the come-along is attached to look temporary which would suggest to me the front end of the bomb is empty --- would what's...

I was going to say it was someones garage project ----

Yep! you're right --- I saw a pic of the resin and it looked like Anigrand's work style, it's actually a CMR kit. Another correction, Scalemates shows the heading page as it being 1/72, but reading the page it turns out to be 1/144
